TW:
Pills
Swearing
Angsty shit

Sun: Hello!
Moon: What are you lookin' at?
Children: Hiiiii!

Suns POV:
I slowly wake up the next morning to hear my alarm clock going off "Ugh, work today" I say as I slowly sit up and get off my bed "Morning Mo-" I stop "Moony?" I ask surprised that he's not with me. I look around the room to see a little folded up piece of paper slid underneath the door into my room. I pick it up and read it.

I wake up every day with your smile on my mind.
It's a beautiful sight to behold, so soft and so kind.
My dreams are filled with the thought of me and you.
I awake and smile, for my dreams have come true.
I have you to guide me through my troubles and fears.
I'll always be here for you through your struggles and tears.
I love you more than my words could ever show.
You mean everything to me; I just want you to know.
I'll be here for you no matter the dilemma.
You will always be first on my agenda.

Love, Moon <3

I stare at the paper through teary eyes, taking the words in. It was written with such passion and love, yet there was something missing. I ignore it and sit back down on my bed reading it over and over, never getting enough of it. I hear a knock on my door "Moony?" I ask looking up. The door opens and in comes Moon looking at his watch "Alright, Sun wake up it's a work day today and we're gonna open I-" He stops as he sees me already awake and sitting on my bed "Moony are you alright? You sound, angered" I say getting up to kiss his forehead, he stops me "Moony?" I ask concerned "It's just Moon for now Sundrop" he says icily. I freeze, extremely upset at what I just heard "Moony I-" "Sundrop, you call me Moon or it's Moondrop. Your decision, now get ready for work, we open in 15 minutes" he says annoyed as he leaves the room. I fall back into my bed. I was crying from the words of love in his poem but now, they're tears of frustration, upset and I think, a little bit of depression. I keep replaying what just happened in my head, over and over, getting more upset each time I see it. Confused from what made Moony-, Moondrop, ( 😭 ) So mad and upset with me. I sit there a few more minutes until Moondrop walks back in "Sundrop we open in five min-" He stops as he sees what state I'm in "<sigh>" He walks over to me and and sits on the bed next to me. He holds my face and wipes my tears with his thumb as he rubs my hand with his other thumb. Then, he gets back up and heads towards the door and as he walks out says "Y'know, I meant everything in that poem" He closes the door. I sit there in silence for a few minutes, I check my clock "2 minutes" I say with a shaky voice. I get up and put on my work uniform, then I head into the bathroom, soak a facecloth and wash my face "That looks, a little bit better" I say looking at myself in the mirror at my tear stained face and frown "I haven't used these in a while" I say opening a cupboard door and taking out a box of pills called Fluoxetine (Happy pills 😭) I grab a cup I leave next to the sink and fill it up with water, open the box of pills, take one out an pop it into my mouth and swallow it down with water. "Well, time to work!" I say enthusiastically, already feeling a boost in my mood as I walk out of my bedroom door to be met with Moony- Moondrop. I plaster a fake smile on my face and say "Morning Moondrop! I'm exited to be working with you today!" I say enthusiastically but also adding a little hint of that I don't know him in it, unable to keep a little bit of the upset in my voice out. He looks at me confused and worried, knowing I shouldn't be this happy.

Moons POV:
"I'm exited to be working with you today!" Sundrop says enthusiastically but, he acted a little bit like he didn't know me, but that's not what I'm concerned about. Sundrop should not be this happy, I just seen him in his room 3 minutes ago in a flood of tears, there's no way he could have cleaned himself up that fast. I look at the smile on his face and immediately know it isn't genuine "Well, see you down in the daycare Moondrop!" He says walking up to the balcony and jumping off  hearing the sounds of children's voices "Goodbye, love" I say regretfully, I walk back into my room and lock the door, not HAVING to come out till naptime. "MOONDROP WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU DO THAT?!" I shout at myself as I scrape my wallpaper off the wall forcefully, leaving scratch marks in the wall "YOU PUSHED AWAY YOUR ONE TRUE LOVE JUST BECAUSE HE WAS HAVING FUN WITHOUT YOU FOR ONCE" I scream to myself in tears of pain as I tear up my bedsheets with my claws "GAHHHHHHHH" I scream as loud as I can to hear my mechanical wire coming up to the balcony, then leaving. I hear a knock on my door, quickly I wipe my tears and walk over to it and open it, expecting to be Sunshi- Sundrop. "M-Mr. Moon?" I hear a soft voice say as I look down to see a little girl called Abigail "O-oh, w-what's up little Star?" I ask coming out of my room and picking her up "W-Well, me and some other girls heard you scream and you sounded really sad. So we asked Mr. Sun could he let us see you, but he said only one of us could go so, I came" She says putting her little hands on my face to calm me "O-oh, well thank you for caring little star. But I assure you i am completely fine" I say smiling at her "That's not what your face says" she says wiping a tear away "Ok, you caught me. Maybe im not okay" I say sitting down on a couch and putting her next to me. "Wanna talk about it?" She asks, looking genuinely concerned and worried for me, it felt nice. Now Abigail isn't a young child like the rest of the children, I may refer to her as small and 'little star' but she's actually one of the older ones. She's 13 this year and she has common sense to know when somethings wrong "You don't need to worry about me Abi (They call her Abi for short) I don't want to make you upset" I say looking down "No, I want you to tell me now or im telling Sundrop" she says sternly, I flinch. The children don't ever call Sun, Sundrop. So she's being really serious when she called him that "Starlight I-" I stop as I feel her hand on mine "You can trust me Moony" She says smiling at me "M-Moony?" I ask looking at her with a watery smile "I've heard Sundrop call you it, so I thought it was a nice comfort name" She says speaking with an extra soft voice. My eyes water up but I try to hold them back "No, don't do that. It's bad to hold in your feelings Moondrop, you've taught us that" She says rubbing my back in circles, making it harder for me to hold in my tears "Come Moony, let it out. You've done so much for us, this is the least we can do for you" She says softly, that was the last string. I break down in tears and fall against her shoulder "Let it all out, it's ok to cry" She says turning and holding me in her arms. We sit there for a few more minutes. I eventually sit up and say "T-Thank you little star" "No problem Moony, if you ever feel like you need to cry again, just come to me or one of the girls. We're all here for you, no matter what happens" She says hugging me "Thank you Abigail, you have no idea how much this means to me" I say hugging her back "We all love you Moony, every one of us in the daycare" She says letting go "And I love every one of you in the daycare too" I say lifting her up and walking up to the balcony "Promise you won't tell anyone about this, will you?" I ask a little worried "Not a soul" she says crossing her heart, I smile as I attach my wire and fly us down.

Suns POV:
"Be careful Abi" I say as I set her down on the balcony "Of course Mr. Sun" she says climbing down the ladder off the balcony. I smile at her and fly back down to the other children, as I land I ask "Who wants to do arts and crafts?!" I shout enthusiastically "USSSSSSSS" All the children shout as they go running to the little kiddy tables with all the art supplies on them. They were doing arts and crafts for about 20 minutes now and a little alarm went off on my watch "Alright children, it's naptime! Go get your sleeping bags and Mr. Moon will be down in a minute" I say ushering them all over to the naptime tent. I notice Moondrop and Abi aren't back yet so I tuck them all in and one asks me "Mr. Sun, because Mr. Moon isn't here, can you sing us a lullaby?" I don't know what to say, I've never sang before "O-of course sunbeam!" I stutter. The lights shut off and I sit down in the middle of all the children in sleeping bags and think of a song "Aha!" I say quietly to myself, everything goes quiet, and I start singing.

You are my Sunshine~
My only Sunshine~
You make me happy~
When skies are grey~
You'll never know dear~
How much I love you~
Please don't take my Sunshine away~

I sing it twice to them and then I start to sing multiple other lullaby's as now I'm in the mood.

Moons POV:
Me and Abigail realise the lights are off when we hear faint singing "You'll never know dear~ How much I love you~ Please don't take my Sunshine away~" "Is that, Sun?" Abi asks me "I think it is" I say as I shed another tear. Abi grabs my hand and pulls me closer to listen more. After Sun finishes Abi's asleep in my arms but the last thing I hear her say is "He's not as good as you though Moony..." She says as she nods off, I smile. I walk over to an empty sleeping bag and tuck her in, only to be noticed by Sun "Hello Moondrop" He says a little coldly but then smiles, which confuses me. He then pats a bit of mat next to him, signalling for me to sit next to him. I sit down criss-cross and he slips a note into my hand, it read:

My love for you is like the raging sea,
So powerful and deep it will forever be.
Through storm, wind, and heavy rain,
It will withstand every pain.

Love, Sun <3

I shed more than one tear this time and pull him into my arms.

After the daycare closes

I lift Sun up into my arms and fly us up into our room and sit him down on the bed. "Moony-Moon,drop. Why were you so mad at me this morning?" Sun asks looking away from me "You were drinking last night when you know it was bad for you, and the Glamrocks tied me up because they didn't want me interfering" I say, also looking away "Oh, I'm sorry Moony-Moondrop, I didn't realise what I was doing and it all kind of just happened" He says with a hint of sadness in his voice. I sit down at the desk and start writing something "But I really meant what I said in the poem" Sun kept saying, over and over. "<Sigh> Here" I say handing him a piece of paper.

When you smile at me, I lose myself.
You give me this feeling that makes me overwhelmed.
When your hand is in mine, I feel totally fine,
And that's the reason I had to make you mine.
Forever and ever till the end,
I will be by your side through thick and thin.
I love you more than you'll ever know.
I just wanted to say I'm never letting go.

Love, Moon <3

He leaps into my arms and kisses my forehead "I love you Moondrop" He says snuggling into me "Don't you dare call me that disgraceful name. To you my Sunshine, it's Moony" I say pulling him closer to me, he giggles "I love you Sunshine" "I love you too Moony"
